Domaine DUJAC - Morey Saint Denis 2023
Morey-Saint-Denis 2023 from Domaine Dujac reveals all the natural grace of this pivotal village of the Côte de Nuits, in a bright vintage that highlights the purity of the fruit, floral finesse, and tactile elegance. The shiny ruby robe announces a wine of great clarity. The nose opens with a precise aromatic blend of fresh raspberry, Morello cherry, blackcurrant, and a slight wild blackberry, accompanied by notes of peony, violet, and a hint of sweet spices. From the attack, the palate is juicy, straight, carried by fruit of exemplary clarity. The freshness lengthens the body and brings a delicate rhythm to the wine. The tannins, fine and slightly chalky, structure the whole without rigidity, revealing a silky touch typical of the domaine. The finish, elegant and persistent, combines red fruits, floral notes, and a subtle mineral imprint.
Upon aeration, Morey-Saint-Denis 2023 gains depth and reveals nuances of cherry pit, dried rose, licorice, and crumpled leaf. The whole cluster harvest, a signature of Dujac, brings an additional floral dimension, an extra energy, and an aromatic verticality that enlivens the palate. The precise aging, finely dosed in new oak, polishes the texture without dominating it, fully expressing the purity of Pinot Noir and the delicacy of the terroir. The wine then asserts an ideal balance between fruit maturity, tension, and elegance. We find this characteristic style of the domaine: a lively, precise classicism based on structural finesse and terroir transparency.
At the table, Morey-Saint-Denis 2023 suits elegant, subtle, and flavorful cuisine. It will perfectly accompany roasted free-range poultry, a pink veal fillet, grilled duck breast, pigeon, or delicate Mediterranean cuisine. Its freshness and silky tannins also allow it to pair with complex vegetable dishes, around mushrooms, roasted vegetables, fragrant risottos, or herb-infused grains. Young, it benefits from decanting to fully unfold its bouquet. Over five to eight years of aging, it will evolve towards notes of light truffle, blond tobacco, undergrowth, and stewed red fruits while retaining its natural uprightness. It is a Morey-Saint-Denis of great elegance, precise, vibrant, and perfectly faithful to the spirit of Domaine Dujac.
